Overview
This section showcases a curated selection of one-off visual projects and experimental works created during my time in graduate school design classes. Many of these speculative and unconventional pieces were born out of classroom prompts encouraging exploration beyond traditional client work, allowing me to indulge in personal curiosities and challenge design conventions. While not fully realized implementations, these experimental explorations represent a departure from normal constraints, pushing boundaries and embodying a mindset of curiosity, risk-taking, and continual growth that has enriched my design practice.
